本研究比较了男性和女性受试者的动态血压预选高和低的敌意水平，并探讨人际日常压力作为一种可能的中介机制。动态血压和心率测量48名男性和女性学生先前分类为高或低的库克混合泳敌意（他）量表。受试者在一个工作日佩戴一个动态监测器，并完成了感知社会支持、日常人际压力和健康行为信息的测量。结果表明，受试者得分高的Ho规模有较高的平均水平的动态收缩压比低Ho的受试者，即使在控制传统的危险因素，如吸烟。高Ho科目也报告了更大的日常人际压力和社会支持比低Ho科目。人际压力知觉可部分解释敌对情绪与血压的关系。高敌意者的平均动态收缩压水平较高。与敌意和健康的交易模型一致，敌意和血压之间的关系似乎部分由人际压力的日常经历所解释。
The present study compared ambulatory blood pressure in male and female subjects preselected for high and low hostility levels and investigated interpersonal daily stress as a possible mediational mechanism. Ambulatory blood pressure and heart rate were measured in 48 male and female students previously classified as high or low on the Cook-Medley Hostility (He) Scale. Subjects wore an ambulatory monitor for a working day and also completed measures of perceived social support, daily interpersonal stress, and health behavior information. Results indicated that subjects scoring high on the Ho scale had higher mean levels of ambulatory systolic blood pressure than low Ho subjects, even when controlling for traditional risk factors, such as cigarette smoking. High Ho subjects also reported greater daily interpersonal stress and less social support than low Ho subjects. Perceived interpersonal stress partially accounted for the relationship between hostility and blood pressure. Subjects high in hostility showed greater mean ambulatory systolic blood pressure levels. Consistent with the transactional model of hostility and health, the relationship between hostility and blood pressure appears to be partially accounted for by the daily experience of interpersonal stress.
